According to a story in the AFP, Sean Michael Foxcroft, 24, from Manchester, England went missing while surfing on the East Coast of South Africa.
He got into difficulties at the main beach in St Lucia, 40 nautical miles (75 kilometres) north of Richards Bay on the east coast. . . “It appears that the man went missing in the surf while assisting a fellow expedition leader to rescue a group of their learners who had gotten into difficulty in shallow surf,” Lambinon said.
